Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - Ko Itakura needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 25' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Maya Yoshida suffering a number of foals already.
